There was a single journalist who is one of the "observers" and she already reported that they were likely changing ballots because they have blue pens which are forbidden because they can be used to change votes. There were other problems. She was on some news show last night or Thursday.

They had all been switched to red or green pens before any of the ballots came out onto the floor.

Red often shows as black on some readers and green contains enough blue that it may matter. I'm not comfortable with the change and I suspect they intend to spoil a whole bunch of ballots and think that we won't notice.

There are a lot of people on site and a lot of opportunities for malfeasance. No legal grounds for this recount whatsoever. The audit organization looks like a bunch of brats from 4chan.

Anyone in the area should at least try to sign up here. It asks for party affiliation but I don't see them having any good way to validate that.

Vote people. In every single ballot they put in your paws. Not just the presidential elections. We are where we are today because batshit diehard Republicans have been voting for school boards, public utility boards, local sheriffs, city comptrollers, etc. while it takes a massive effort to get Democrats to turn out every four years for presidential elections.
